I still have that Google newsfeed enabled on my phone, just trying to stay informed. The AI overview is actually hella useful, by summarising all the news reports and circumventing the trash clickbait
And lying at least 40% of the time

(Number’s a little better than before but very irresponsible)
You know, you're getting downvoted for this, and I get why, but I also think you should've been offered a suggestion: RSS feeds. They let you get your news from good, reliable sources that aren't The Daily Beast talking about "Elon Musk drops SHOCKING new post on X (did he shit his pants??)" Unironically, it's the best way to keep up with the news bar none. I can even give you personalized suggestions if you'd like.
Your problem is real. Your problem is not your fault. Your solution is understandable. I just think it's misguided.
Holy fuck is this healthy. Thank you sir for, well, existing. I salute this behavior!
I appreciate that. I feel like it's all of our jobs to help each other in this information hurricane where we can; nobody deserves to be punished for not being a strong sailor.
